Ok, so you have Standard Uncapped 10mb @ R1649, Silver Uncapped @ R1699 and Gold Uncapped @ R2699

Either Standard or Silver should fall away as I don't see the point in having two packages with pricing so close to each other.

Or I just don't know what I'm talking about

Standard Uncapped ADSL from OpenWeb allows for an excellent overall ADSL experience. With our smart shaping technology, gone are the days of throttling.

Silver Uncapped is a brand new ADSL service from OpenWeb that bridges the gap between Standard Uncapped and Gold Uncapped. With a 15% lower contention ratio than Standard Uncapped, Silver Uncapped was made for the After Hours downloader and gamer.

The Silver Uncapped from OpenWeb has been available @ R1699 for a while now already so its only a R50 price drop.

um, WebAfrica's price for 10mbps has been R1699 since they launched uncapped... I assume Openweb made a deal with them for that account...

Does anyone use GamCo? 10Mbps for R 827 per month?

http://www.gamco.co.za/uncappedadsl.php

I want to know how good they are, thinking of going for them maybe? But need to know for sure they are good. Otherwise their 4Mbps is good at R 443?

LOL

512MBPS for R327 seems like a better deal than R827 for 10MBPS

I'm fairly new to this whole internet at home business and was wondering what a household, say for example husband and wife, would need a 10MBPS uncapped line at home for? It's alot of money to fork over per month and unless you download series 24/7 or maybe even game online 24/7 is there really a point to a household having this. Surely this is more for business users?

Thanks

And in other news MWEB says their 10meg users are getting more than enough value for money in their opinion, so no Telkom IPC reduction discounts on their 10meg accounts. Sorry for you!

I guess MWEB had it wrong.
